Yet even as administrators and policymakers extol the benefits of global science, few recognize the diversity of international research collaborations and their participants, or take gendered inequalities into account. Zippel considers systematically the challenges and opportunities that the globalization of scientific work brings to U.S. academics, especially for women faculty. While some have approached underrepresentation as a national concern with a national solution, Zippel highlights how gender relations are reconfigured in global academia. The case of STEM fields shows how gendered cultures and structures in academia persists and contribute to an underrepresentation of women also in global science. But for U.S. women in particular, international collaboration offers opportunities to step outside of exclusionary networks at home. International collaboration is not the panacea to gendered inequalities in academia, but, as Zippel argues, international considerations can be key to ending the steady attrition of women in STEM fields and developing a more inclusive academic world. There will be comments by Karin Schönpflug (IHS), Maria Schreiber (University of Vienna) and Laura Wiesböck (University of Vienna). The event will be moderated by Angela Wroblewski (IHS). We are looking forward to seeing you!
